Following the seismic announcement that this will be Pep Guardiola\u2019s final game in charge after a glittering decade, the hosts will be determined to give the Catalan a victorious send-off on home soil. Unai Emery\u2019s side have already secured their own fairytale finish by qualifying for the Champions League, and having just ended a 30-year trophy drought by lifting the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/europa-league\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Europa League<\/a> in Istanbul on Wednesday, the visitors are widely expected to field a heavily rotated, second-string lineup.

They face a United side arriving with a sense of stability, having consolidated third place and officially handed Michael Carrick the permanent manager&#8217;s job at Old Trafford following his successful interim spell. With the Seagulls forced to chase the game and United playing with the freedom of a secured top-four finish, a tight, tactical battle looks on the cards on the south coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Prediction: Brighton 1-1 Man Utd (<a href=\"\/en\/go\/william-hill?q=gb-all-con-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">13\/2 with William Hill<\/a>)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-fulham-vs-newcastle-sunday-24th-may-4-00pm\">Fulham vs Newcastle &#8211; Sunday 24th May &#8211; 4:00pm<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/news\/match-preview-fulham-vs-newcastle-24-05-26-premier-league\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fulham vs Newcastle: predictions, stats, tips &amp; odds<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/fulham\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fulham<\/a> and Newcastle face off at Craven Cottage with both sides aiming to secure a top-half finish to wrap up their campaigns. While both clubs sit just three points behind <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/chelsea\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Chelsea<\/a>, a top-10 finish is the absolute ceiling for either side due to the Blues facing Europe-chasing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/sunderland\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sunderland <\/a>in a fixture that guarantees someone above them will pick up points. With a top-half spot the final prize left on the table, a closely contested, evenly-matched affair looks likely in West London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Prediction: Fulham 1-1 Newcastle (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/go\/william-hill?q=gb-all-con-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">6\/1 with William Hill<\/a>)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tottenham-vs-everton-sunday-24th-may-4-00pm\">Tottenham vs Everton &#8211; Sunday 24th May &#8211; 4:00pm<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/news\/match-preview-tottenham-vs-everton-24-05-26-premier-league\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tottenham vs Everton: predictions, stats, tips &amp; odds<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Tottenham face a high-stakes final day in North London, knowing their Premier League status is completely in their own hands. Sitting two points clear of West Ham in the final relegation spot, a single point will be enough to guarantee safety for the north London side thanks to their heavily superior goal difference. However, getting over the line might prove tense for the hosts, who incredibly haven&#8217;t won a top-flight game on home soil since early December. They do, however, welcome an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/everton\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Everton<\/a> side in the midst of a dramatic late-season collapse, with the Toffees&#8217; form completely nosediving over the final weeks. Against a visiting side with little left to play for and lacking momentum, Spurs should finally break their home hoodoo to secure their safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Prediction: Tottenham 2-1 Everton (<a href=\"\/en\/go\/william-hill?q=gb-all-con-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">7\/1 with William Hill<\/a>)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-liverpool-vs-brentford-sunday-24th-may-4-00pm\">Liverpool vs Brentford &#8211; Sunday 24th May &#8211; 4:00pm<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/news\/match-preview-liverpool-vs-brentford-24-05-26-premier-league\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Liverpool vs Brentford: predictions, stats, tips &amp; odds<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Liverpool wrap up their campaign at Anfield knowing a victory could lift them as high as fourth place, provided City do them a favour against Villa. However, the Reds enter the final day in a clear rut, battling a frustrating three-game winless streak and navigating ongoing speculation regarding Arne Slot\u2019s future in the dugout. They face a dangerous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/brentford\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Brentford<\/a> side with everything to play for on the final day. Keith Andrews has enjoyed a remarkable maiden campaign in charge of the Bees, and depending on how results fall around them, his side could secure a dream spot in either the Europa League or Conference League, or miss out on continental football altogether. While the highly-motivated visitors will make life incredibly difficult on Merseyside, Anfield&#8217;s final-day atmosphere should help the Reds narrowly edge out their opponents to finish an erratic season on a positive note.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Prediction: Liverpool 2-1 Brentford (<a href=\"\/en\/go\/william-hill?q=gb-all-con-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">7\/1 with William Hill<\/a>)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-burnley-vs-wolves-sunday-24th-may-4-00pm\">Burnley vs Wolves &#8211; Sunday 24th May &#8211; 4:00pm<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/news\/match-preview-burnley-vs-wolves-24-05-26-premier-league\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Burnley vs Wolves: predictions, stats, tips &amp; odds<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/burnley\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Burnley<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/wolverhampton-wanderers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Wolves<\/a> go head-to-head at Turf Moor in a sombre fixture that will determine which side finishes rock bottom of the Premier League table. With both clubs already condemned to Championship football next season, pride is the only thing left on the line in Lancashire. Burnley have at least shown a fraction more fighting spirit in recent weeks, though that will serve as little consolation to the home faithful. Facing a visiting side also completely drained of momentum, the Clarets should find just enough inspiration on home soil to avoid the absolute basement spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Prediction: Burnley 2-1 Wolves (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/go\/william-hill?q=gb-all-con-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">8\/1 with William Hill<\/a>)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-nottingham-forest-vs-bournemouth-sunday-24th-may-4-00pm\">Nottingham Forest vs Bournemouth &#8211; Sunday 24th May &#8211; 4:00pm<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/news\/match-preview-nottingham-forest-vs-bournemouth-24-05-26-premier-league\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nottingham Forest vs Bournemouth: predictions, stats, tips &amp; odds<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Bournemouth travel to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/nottingham-forest\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nottingham Forest<\/a> on the cusp of the crowning achievement in their 127-year history, knowing a win will secure a miraculous Champions League spot provided Aston Villa slip up and drop to fifth. It would provide the ultimate send-off for manager Andoni Iraola, who is stepping down after the final whistle following a three-year stint on the south coast. They face a Forest side whose season has completely whimpered out over the last fortnight. Stripped of momentum after a heavy 4-0 defeat to Aston Villa in their Europa League semi-final second leg, Vitor Pereira&#8217;s men have since drawn with Newcastle and suffered a highly controversial, handball-ruined defeat at Old Trafford. With the hosts deflated and the history-chasing Cherries fueled by emotion, the visitors should charge across the line into Europe&#8217;s elite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Prediction: Nottingham Forest 0-2 Bournemouth (<a href=\"\/en\/go\/william-hill?q=gb-all-con-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">10\/1 with William Hill<\/a>)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-west-ham-vs-leeds-sunday-24th-may-4-00pm\">West Ham vs Leeds &#8211; Sunday 24th May &#8211; 4:00pm<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/news\/match-preview-west-ham-vs-leeds-24-05-26-premier-league\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">West Ham vs Leeds: predictions, stats, tips &amp; odds<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>West Ham vs <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/leeds-united\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Leeds<\/a> takes center stage at the London Stadium, with the Hammers&#8217; Premier League survival on the line. Sitting two points adrift of safety, Nuno Espirito Santo&#8217;s side must win to have any chance of staying up &#8211; and even then, a vastly inferior goal difference means they need Everton to do them a massive favour by beating Tottenham elsewhere in the capital. They face a Leeds side enjoying a vibrant, high-energy end to the campaign, and that continued enthusiasm from the visitors is likely to prove fatal for the desperate hosts. Expect the Yorkshire outfit to exploit the tension in East London and condemn West Ham to the drop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Prediction: West Ham 1-2 Leeds (<a href=\"\/en\/go\/william-hill?q=gb-all-con-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">10\/1 with William Hill<\/a>)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sunderland-vs-chelsea-sunday-24th-may-4-00pm\">Sunderland vs Chelsea &#8211; Sunday 24th May &#8211; 4:00pm<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/news\/match-preview-sunderland-vs-chelsea-24-05-26-premier-league\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sunderland vs Chelsea: predictions, stats, tips &amp; odds<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Sunderland vs <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/chelsea\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Chelsea<\/a> takes on massive proportions at the Stadium of Light, with a European passport on the line for both clubs. The highly-motivated Black Cats know a victory could completely transform their season and seal a dream spot on the continent. They face a Chelsea side looking ahead to a new era after confirming Xabi Alonso as their next manager, though Calum McFarlane remains in the dugout for one final time. Following a tumultuous campaign in West London, missing out on Europe entirely might ironically give the incoming boss a less congested schedule to rebuild next term. Driven by that superior final-day motivation, the hosts should edge this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Prediction: Sunderland 2-1 Chelsea (<a href=\"\/en\/go\/william-hill?q=gb-all-con-wof-s-spo\">10\/1 with William Hill<\/a>)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-crystal-palace-vs-arsenal-sunday-24th-may-4-00pm\">Crystal Palace vs Arsenal &#8211; Sunday 24th May &#8211; 4:00pm<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/news\/match-preview-crystal-palace-vs-arsenal-24-05-26-premier-league\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Crystal Palace vs Arsenal: predictions, stats, tips &amp; odds<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/crystal-palace\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Crystal Palace<\/a> and Arsenal wrap up the season at Selhurst Park in what promises to be a celebratory, relaxed affair in South London.
